Raced a Cannondale on the street with my Raptor, I pulled hime everywhere, but not nearly as good as I had hoped. Those things dont run to shabby, to bad they are ugly as sin. Anyhow, whats this I hear about 4 new Cannondale quads? Are the 440s that I heard about going to be true 440s, or are they going to be the same 446 or whatever the hell the FX has in it now, are the frames going to be based on the FX? Well, I think I have my Raptor sold, now my next mission is to find a clean 250R frame so I can begin the project of installing a CR500 engine in it. Since Honda dont have the ba11s I guess i gotta do it myself. Anyone out there ever done this, or know of any shops that have any experience in this conversion?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Have you read the dirtwheels article about this. "Laegars CR500R" it looked tight as hell. I cant remember what issue it was in, but the guy said he spent 20000 to build it. And about the frame, theres 1 or 2 on Ebay right now. Good luck, you'll need it.

Yeah, I saw that one, That was so freakin bad a**. he said that someone could build it for way less than 20k, he also said that he went ba11s to the walls with everything, I have seen 2 done both of which were very clean without being rediculous. I am hoping to get one built for about 6k. I just want one for sand drags and maybe racing some yuppie punks on the street.
